Hey man, looks good. How are you liking the K&N intake? I was thinking Takeda, myself. What are your plans for future mods, other than exhaust?

Thank you! I like it quite a bit, I'm definitely a newbie when it comes to mods but I've always heard good things about K&N... I guess you just go with what you know and trust. Up about 3,000RPM I can really hear the intake and it sounds very nice. As far as an increase in power, nothing that I can really notice driving, have to dyno to see it.

I don't want to make any cosmetic changes just yet, except tinted windows.

nice ride.
got to get the side mount license plate though haha.
possibly plasti-dip the front bumper? refer to other peoples thread if you wonder what it looks like.

keep us updated cant wait see some more.

Thank you. I've been checking out a lot of the other progress reports and am getting a few ideas. Eventually I want to plasti-dip the front bumper and lower it, not sure how much but enough so when I add in the front lip it'll look mean.

I just installed the Greddy SE "axle back" exhaust today, pictures to follow later, gonna take it to a shop for a custom cat-back.

Haha thanks! I was surprised at the difference it made honestly, and now when I drive I notice it does turn a few heads... especially with the straight stock look. I have new tail lights coming in soon. Here's the link to see what they look like.

Do tell more about your future mods and also...tell me more about your Kia. I came to LT with the first boosted automatic Spectra since the 11 second Tiburon, would love to swap stories.

Like the exhaust, it's quieter than my Tsudo, but I also installed the full cat back as opposed to axleback. Looking forward to the work being done. If you ever choose to do away with the engine cover and want to go carbon fiber let me know. I'll buy the stock one from you.

I'll post my future mods here in a second after I add a few more pictures of some newly added decals. Ultimately I am going for a full cat-back, just seems easier to go piece by piece for right now. And I might consider getting rid of the stock cover so I'll definitely keep you in mind.
